ACC-705 builds on the foundational IT auditing and assurance sequence to cover advanced information systems governance and control topics, addressing sophisticated scenarios that go beyond standard IT audit and advisory coverage.
Advanced IT governance
The course covers organization-wide information systems governance structures and how they interact with financial reporting controls at a more sophisticated level than the foundational IT audit sequence addresses.
Emerging control challenges
ACC-705 addresses advanced and often emerging control challenges — evolving technology environments, complex system integrations, and the control implications these create for financial reporting reliability.
Key topics in ACC705
- Advanced information systems governance
- Sophisticated control design for complex systems
- Emerging technology control challenges
- Complex system integration control implications

Frequently asked questions
The foundational sequence establishes core competency in testing individual systems and controls and providing assurance advisory services, while ACC-705 addresses genuinely advanced governance challenges — evaluating control reliability across multiple integrated systems, navigating emerging technology environments — that require synthesizing the foundational competencies at a more sophisticated, organization-wide level.
When multiple systems feed into one financial reporting process, a control weakness in any single system can compromise the reliability of the combined output even if the other systems are individually well-controlled, and evaluating this kind of integrated reliability requires understanding how the systems interact, not just assessing each one independently. ACC-705 addresses this because modern financial reporting increasingly depends on genuinely interconnected technology environments, making this advanced governance perspective a real, practical necessity rather than a purely theoretical concern.
